Question: Do you think smaller countries have a voice in world issues and decisions?

This question requires the writer to be well-versed with world issues and current affairs. Knowledge with regard to UN, G8, NATO, EU etc will be very useful.

It is important to also understand and talk about smaller groupings like ASEAN and evaluate how it impacts the larger nations when they make decisions that affect the world or at least large parts of the world.

It seems like the Singapore economy is heading north once more, what with the rise in COE prices, housing prices, and rental prices (residential and commercial) etc.

These are signs that demand is hot again and the eventual effect is for more jobs to be created and more money being spent on most goods and services.

The downside is for those people who have low skills/education and cannot find a job, they would suffer as the prices of most goods/services go up. Those businesses which sell goods/services that are not popular or are not competitive enough, will also suffer because the business owners face prospects of rising costs, eg rents being increased and employees expecting higher wages.

Question: If people become ill it is largely their own fault. Do you agree?

Answer: People fall ill for various reasons. It could be due to: - Stress: overworking, over-studying, not having enough rest, in the pursuit of wealth and status.- Over-enjoyment: eating unhealthy but tasty food, drinking alcohol, smoking, in the pursuit of 'enjoyment'.- Insufficient Exercise: laziness, sedentary life, excuses for not getting up from the couch, in the pursuit of sloth. - Taking care of someone: there could be someone in the person's life who requires constant care and attention and this person falls ill as a result of taking care of that person, in the pursuit of love and responsibility. - Mental illness: bad events that occur in the person's life, family breakups, poverty, depression, in the pursuit of peace and tranquility but is unable to due to bad events.

The above are just some points why people fall ill. In my opinion, some are largely due to own fault, but some are not.
